Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

You may be able to keep it filed to prevent it from becoming any worse.

Not sure if it’s an inherited thing or not. May want to check this out if you want wee ones. Might want to let the breeder know also.

I appreciate this, filing it may well
become necessary. Fortunately it seems to be pretty minor and he is eating just fine. I will let the breeder know for sure. I never intended to hatch any chicks from him. I only intended to hatch SFH eggs going forward.

That said no doubt he could manage to mate one of the SFH’s but I guess that is a risk I will have to take. Hopefully with all the his size girls I have coming he will stick with them for the most part.

4 hours of fiddling to get the door inplave and swings. Still had to jurry rig a latch. DoneView attachment 4189208View attachment 4189209

Now for a shower and a popsicle where I can see what they think now. They cussed me out....A TON while working on the install. Kiddos to DS for helping and getting the latch figured out@

That looks great!

Don’t count on it! Clyde favourite ladies are Patches and Silver bird. Both are bigger than he is, I think he has been able to breed them.

Mr LC I am not so sure about. I feel like a voyeur trying to get a peak to see if he can ‘get the job done’.

Meanwhile, Mrs LC can’t stand him and only has eyes for Mr P. Her eggs are definitely not fertile. Not that I would want to hatch any of her eggs!

As I recall, @RebeccaBoyd had a silkie roo, Branch, who was rather good at getting to the Marans hens.
